Why aren't you wearing this? Carlos by Carlos Santana Believe 2 Heel

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Must Haves

red shoe
We're sure you're getting prepared for this year's holiday parties -- while we've already attended a few, it's this week that they really begin in earnest. You might think you're ready -- you've got the dress, you know how you're wearing your hair, and your makeup palette is set. However, you know a party dress isn't a party dress unless it's paired with the right shoe, and trust us when we say that this Carlos by Carlos Santana Believe 2 Heel is the right shoe.

Why aren't you wearing this? L.A.M.B. Mitaka Heel

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Must Haves


While a neutral shoe is always a good investment, we have one problem with them -- they can be boring. Even though we know that they'll look fabulous, and elongate our leg, we just have a hard time wearing a shoe that, in the box, makes us yawn.

That's why we love this Mitaka Heel by L.A.M.B. in gray, available for $354.99 at Heels.com. It does everything a nude shoe needs to do, but it does it with some extra style. Instead of simply being a shoe we'd wear with an outfit needing a neutral, we'd search out ensembles to wear with these shoes!

Let your feet get the fever for the mini-wedge

Filed under: Shoes

Sometimes you crave the ease of a flat, but you still want a little lift for your behind. That's when the miracle of the mini-wedge becomes evident.

It's like a mullet for your feet, (only, you know, attractive): all business up front, and a party in the back.

The 1" heel is comfortable enough to wear all day at the office or while hoofing around town for a night out with the girls. And while even a dressy flat feels casual, the slight angle on the mini-wedge gives your feet a little flair.

Designers are finally catching on to the magic this season, giving us mini-wedges in a rainbow of colors and styles, from open toe covered wedges to patent leather animal prints with stacked wood heels. It only takes a little looking on Piper Lime to find a mini-wedge for any and every outfit!

In the gallery, cute mini-wedge options that range from round toe purple suede to yellow huaraches sandals.

Why aren't you wearing this? Peep-toe Oxford Pump

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Daily Obsession, Must Haves


We're seeing a lot of heeled shooties (shoe-like boots) this season, and, truth be told, we're not falling all over ourselves for them. We know that a heavier shoe is hot and all, but some of them just seem a little awkward -- like they'd cut off the leg in a bad spot, and some just don't have much style. These, however, we want.

Why aren't you wearing this? Sbicca 'Rosey' Slide

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Must Haves


We're all about a high, sexy heel, but truth be told, we're not all that likely to to wear a shoe like this out to run errands. Theoretically, it seems like a great idea, but doing a lot of purposeful walking in a stiletto doesn't really appeal. That being said, we don't want to give up the look of a heel and look like a schlub when we're out in public, right?

Tender Toes say don't bother with Dr. Scholl's Blister Treatment

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Skin Care


You know how hot weather can change the way your shoes fit? Well, we're in the middle of a heat wave, and our favorite bright orange shoes went from fitting like slippers to having little sharp teeth on the insides of the heels.

Can you say ouch?

Naturally this happened while we were out for the day, meeting two different friends with a good long walk through a museum in the middle. We had miles to go before our rest.

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Shoes, Must Haves


If you're going to splurge on an insanely fabulous pair of shoes, you need to ask yourself this question: Do I want a classic style that will always work, or do I want something amazingly trendy that will turn everyone's head? Because, you know, you can't have it all.

That is, unless you have these.
